Media is the #1 problem in this country, by far by far. If they were honest the Revolutionary Communist party formerly known as the Democrap party wouldn’t even exist, Hillary Clinton would be in jail, Nancy Pelosi would be in a mental ward and Joe Biden would be in a nursing home.

By the way: What the hell kind of family does Biden have where they know damn well he has brain issues, yet they allow him to run for POTUS? Allow him to be USED by the commies? It’s pathetic.

Mark Levin yesterday played an interview with Biden where they asked Biden what he would do about the Chinese, and Bidens answer was sad, he couldn’t answer. He said something to the effect of getting all the countries together and getting the WHO, and that’s where he stopped. Getting other countries and the WHO to do what exactly? His brain literally short circuited and shut down. It’s sad because my mom has early set on dementia as well, she’s 81 and we all take care of her, I buy her anything she needs, I make sure all her favorite TV shows are taped I can’t even imagine allowing to work

The media moguls are fanning the flames of division because they think that it helps their democrat puppets. Make no mistake, the democrats haven’t had an original thought in decades. The media moguls pull their strings, they dance to the mogul’s tunes, and act as their mouthpiece.

Very sad and abusive, it tells you a lot about Dems seeking power doesn't it.

AND, Nothingburger uses proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clear exposition, plus he avoids sentence fragments. Those are all rarities these days.

Agreed, but it doesn't help when they over play their hand.

They say they think the media is overwhelmingly right-leaning. They actually SAY that. That is a LOT of delusion.

Their definition of right-leaning is anyone who disagrees with them on any subject.

It is part of why they are delusional.

[though the same percentage also believe the media "can serve as a healing force."]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Like the Communist Liberal Media would ever do that. Not in a million years. They are here to destroy the U.S.A. and are doing a pretty good job at it, too.



Western Civilization.

It was fun while it lasted.

Crap. If you could wave a magic wand and turn every media outlet in the country into a completely fair, unbiased, honest reporter of facts and you would still have an insurmountable political divide in this country. The leaders and members on both sides of the aisle would guarantee that.

Which is why people are voting for non-politicians, like , say, Trump!

I’m amazed anyone thinks the right-wing media (such as the tiny percentage it is) is corporate controlled. They apparently have not looked at the structure of the news media in decades.

One of the problems with the media is that all these idealistic young J-school graduates see themselves as a force for “changing the world.”

Except that their way of forcing change is to hide and embargo the news, not to write about it.

The media has completely abandoned any pretext of objectivity. Its a scandalous betrayal of professional ethics that has hurt this country terribly.

The media should be ashamed of itself but it is too self-righteous, arrogant and vindictive to accept any responsibility for its obscenely biased behavior.
